Blake Lizotte - NHL News & Rumors

Adds helper Thursday Lizotte logged an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

Impact Lizotte is up to four assists, 13 shots on net, 14 blocks and eight hits across 11 contests. He has served in a bottom-six role and on the penalty kill. Lizotte carries injury risk, but he's also capable of decent depth scoring. Most fantasy managers will be able to find better options on the waiver wire.

Poised to play Saturday Lizotte (lower body) expects to play in Saturday's home opener against Montreal.

Not practicing Thursday Lizotte suffered a lower-body injury and will not practice Thursday.

Impact Lizotte was able to shake off an upper-body injury in time to play against the Flyers on Wednesday, but it seems he has now picked up a secondary injury. In that contest, the 28-year-old winger failed to produce a point while generating four shots and one block while averaging 13:13 of ice time. If Lizotte does miss any time, it could open up a spot in the lineup for David Gustafsson.

Removed from IR Lizotte (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's opener versus Philadelphia.

Impact Lizotte figures to slot into a fourth-line role now that his upper-body problem is behind him and will likely see time on the penalty kill, where he averaged 2:29 of ice time last season. The 28-year-old forward came one point shy of reaching the 20-point threshold in 2025-26, but he should be capable of pushing for that mark this time around, especially with two additional games.

Upgraded to day-to-day Lizotte (upper body) was labeled day-to-day ahead of Opening Night against the Flyers on Wednesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.

Impact Lizotte could still be activated in time to face Philadelphia, considering his designation for IR was retroactive to Sept. 19. Getting the 28-year-old forward back would be a huge win for the Penguins, as there are several forwards that have been deemed week-to-week, including Bryan Rust (upper body) and Ben Kindel (lower body).

If Lizotte misses the start of the 2026-27 campaign, it doesn't appear as though it will be a lengthy absence. Lizotte contributed seven goals, 19 points, 49 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 49 hits in 55 games with the Penguins during the 2025-26 regular season.
